In a hospital without patients a group of pretty, pretty nurses find themselves at the mercy of the malicious spirit of a colleague they murdered when she threatened to spill the beans about their little sideline in harvesting bodies for spare parts. The spirit obviously saw The Ring because she's heavily into that one-eye-peeping-between-thick-black-curtains-of-hair look. She's also clearly more than a little miffed about being murdered and is in no mood for forgiveness.
I started off really disliking this film. It seemed almost cobbled together, and intent on pandering to sex-starved teenage boys by dressing a gaggle of doll-like Asian beauties in skimpy nurse's uniforms and then finding as many excuses as possible to gaze with voyeuristic greed at their bodies. Having that said, as others have noted, despite the filmmaker's obvious preoccupation with his actresses bodies, the film comes over all coy when it comes to showing any nudity, and, bizarrely, one of the girl's even showers fully-clothed.
So, as I said: I didn't really think much of this film to begin with but, after that slow and annoying opening half-hour or so things began gathering pace and, while Sick Nurses, still failed to reach the modest heights of the best of the genre, it at least managed to get me to suspend my annoyance long enough to prevent me from pressing the 'stop' button before the end credits rolled. The horror/torture sequences are agreeably gory and the story also injects some nightmarish touches (the nurses on the stairway, for example) that were really quite impressive. And the twist at the end is outrageous enough to have you rolling your eyes as you gasp at the writer's audacity.
